$Psycroptic - Gathering a Venomous Herd (Guitar Playthrough) Order: http://www.metalblade.com/psycroptic For over two decades, Psycroptic have operated at the vanguard of technical death metal, defined by instrumental precision, structural intelligence and an uncompromising creative ethic. From their Tasmanian origins to commanding stages worldwide, the band have built a reputation on rhythmic complexity, exacting musicianship, and a refusal to plateau. On July 17th, 2026, Psycroptic enter a decisive new chapter with The Pulse of Annihilation, their first full-length release for Metal Blade Records. The partnership marks a strategic alignment between one of extreme metal’s most technically formidable acts and a label whose history is intertwined with the genre’s evolution. At the core of this next phase is guitarist and principal songwriter Joe Haley. Over time, Haley’s compositional voice has evolved from pure technical density into something more architecturally deliberate. On The Pulse of Annihilation, riff construction feels sharper, transitions more fluid, and thematic motifs more intentional. Haley’s writing demonstrates a seasoned understanding of pacing—knowing when to constrict, when to expand, and how to weaponize silence and space within otherwise relentless arrangements. Experience has not diminished intensity; it has refined its delivery. The album’s first single, Gathering a Venomous Herd serves as an immediate declaration of intent. “Mega non-stop riff fest” is how Haley describes it. Bassist, Todd Stern, declares the track, as with all Psycroptic songs, has a certain “bounce” to it, allowing for “endless head-banging, leaving room for massive vocal passages.” Directed and Edited by Robert Brens Ellie Hanuska as the Prisoner Jason Meech as the Dealer Concept by Robert Brens Special FX Make Up by Renee Schulz Production Assistance by Spud Robertson and Bridie Lewis Special Thanks to Jeanette Velisha and Ralph Graham Produced by Black Cow Productions www.blackcowproductions.com Lyrics: Venomous tongues in this world now defiled Fractured souls drown In our self-proclaimed wisdom Divided we fall to this new faceless god The broken empire still in chains Fragile bonds poisoned blood Struggling for individual thought Guided by false prophets A new world is now forged Built on wrong truths Deception in plain sight So many eyes closed Questions now called conspiracies The herd gathers more disciples Weakness now praised Failures are accepted When will they learn Divide and conquer A deep descent Victims of our making No more rebellions Eyes are now hollow Drowning in our conscience Tearing of the flesh Humanity now fractured Weakness now praised Failures are accepted When will they learn Divide and conquer A deep descent Victims of our making No more rebellions This modern age coming for us all A future of servitude$
